Little book, big message.  That’s exactly what "Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals" by Thomas C. Corley is.  And, Corley believes he knows how we can be as rich as the rich by following his steps.  Is he right?  I believe he is, but only if we take the responsibility upon ourselves to change our habits that are not producing the wealth we desire to have.

Corley brings his expertise into this book from his experience as an accountant, planner and trainer. In “Rich Habits” he gives life-changing promises as an exercise, for example, Rich Habit Promise Number Two: I will set goals for each month, for each year and for the long-term. I will focus on my goals each and every day.  As well, he suggests creating a daily goals/to-do list including when it will be done; for example, profession-related reading 6-6:30 a.m. He also explains how to set the monthly and yearly goals.

Although Corley doesn’t present anything new that hasn’t been said before, he does take out the long, drawn-out explanations and exercises many books have.  Because of his ability to concisely present the important information and exercises, “Rich Habits” would appeal to anyone that wants to change his or her life but doesn't have time the time to read a 350-page how-to book.  Corley’s book is only 89 pages, but contains a powerful message as well as a doable and effective life-changing program.
